NAME

       stemwords - Snowball word stemming utility

DESCRIPTION

       stemwords [-l language] [-i input file] [-o output file] [-c character encoding] [-p[2]] [-h]

       The  input  file consists of a list of words to be stemmed, one per line.  Words should be in lower case,
       but (for English) A-Z letters are mapped to their a-z equivalents anyway.  If omitted, stdin is used.

       If -c is given, the argument is the character encoding of the input and output files.  If it is  omitted,
       the UTF-8 encoding is used.

       If  -p  is given the output file consists of each word of the input file followed by "->" followed by its
       stemmed equivalent.  If -p2 is given the output file is a two column layout containing the input words in
       the first column and the stemmed equivalents in the second column.  Otherwise, the output  file  consists
       of the stemmed words, one per line.
